Spanking Positions and Variations

My last post here at Kink Lovers on Spanking Do’s and Dont’s contained information on how to safely engage in spanking with your partner. Now that you know those basics and have explored this wonderful world of pleasure and pain, let’s get into more detail about various positions.

Classic Spanking Positions

Over the Lap We often hear about spanking “over the knee”, but that’s really not practical or comfortable for either the dom/me or sub. Over the lap works better, with the submissive laying across the dom’s lap. This position is also the one favored when there is any kind of age role-play in effect.

On all Fours Not so great on a hard floor as it can be hard on the knees but works very well on a bed or padded surface. The only issue is that the sub has a range of motion where they can move either away from the dom’s hand or push back towards it. Probably both some negatives and positives to this possibility.

Lying Face Down This one is great for longer spanking sessions and is one of my favorites. It works best when a pillow is placed under the sub’s hips so that the ass is raised up slightly and presented to her dom.

Not that spanking isn’t already erotic as hell, but why not try these positions that will take it to the next level. You can even throw in a little role playing. The over-the-desk position is great for a naughty secretary scenario!

Over the Desk/Table This is self-explanatory, but you’ll find the height of the table is what will make the difference. For example, the kitchen counter is often to high for this, but perhaps the dining room table works perfectly! The sub bends over at the hips, lying their body flat on the surface. Feel like adding a little bondage? Try tying your sub’s ankles to the table legs for extra excitement.

Standing with Arms DownI think that standing while getting a spanking definitely adds a new dimension, because the sub cannot be as passive as they have to balance themselves. This can work with the sub standing and bending forward while balancing themselves with hands on the edge of the bed or a chair. Another options is standing with the hands on the ankles, but this takes flexibility and balance!

The Splits The spanker sits on the bed with their legs crossed and the spankee faces away from her partner, straddling them while laying face down on the bed. This puts you in close proximity which can make for some interesting play between spanks. The spanker could even go for a two-handed approach.

This post should give you some good ideas but remember: the only limit is your imagination!
